MICHIGAN -- The Wexford County Prosecutor's Office on Wednesday authorized child abuse charges against a Cadillac man accused of causing critical injuries to a 1-year-old boy in August.

The boy, who authorities have not identified, remains hospitalized in critical condition at Helen DeVos Children's Hospital, fighting for his life, police said today.

Authorities have not released the suspect's name, pending an arraignment this week on three counts of first-degree child abuse. No further details were provided on circumstances of the boy's injuries.

According to Cadillac police, an ambulance crew was dispatched Aug. 28 to a home in the 700 block of S. Mitchell Street regarding a child who was not breathing. The boy was taken to Mercy Hospital in Cadillac and then transferred via AeroMed to DeVos Children's Hospital.

A police investigation began Aug. 29, in connection with Wexford-Missaukee Child Protection Services.

Authorities say the boy suffered injuries while in the 24-year-old Cadillac man's care on Aug. 28. The man reportedly had administered CPR prior to medical workers arriving on scene.
